Needs a new grounds keeper

Played on a Saturday afternoon. Decent course layout. Fairways and rough burned out and filled with weeds, clover and dandelions. Tees looked like a thick shag carpet from the 1970's. 14th hole has a hornet area, with millions of hornets, roped off on the left side of the fairway that literally was circle with a 30 yard diameter. No one in the pro shop said a thing about it. My playing partner happened to see a note pinned up on a bulletin board in the pro shop. I was treated like I had a disease because I booked on GolfNow. We vacation in OCNJ. I've played GreenTree every year. This was the worst I've seen it. If you can get a HotDeal for $10-$15, course is okay. Course has fun potential. Good variation in length and difficulties of holes. Needs a groundskeeper who wants to be proud of what is here. Golfers just know what you are headed into. This area has some GREAT courses available on Golf Now that are challenging and well maintained and more worth the $$$.

DO NOT PLAY

DO not play here unless you would like to play a 7 hours round on a terribly kept course. We teed off on a Monday at 930 and got done 9 holes at 130. When we pleaded with the ranger to give us a 9 hole rate he couldnt fathom why and simply would not give us half of the cash back that we had paid hours earlier. Desk guy was also very rude and kind of told us it is what it is. Wouldnt pay more than 15 dollars to play here.

not worth it

Wanted to try a different course, found this on golf now, unfortunately and some of the blame might be that it rained previous days, not really sure but giving benefit of doubt, either way course has not really been mowed in at least a good week or better, tee boxes grass very high, fairways ok, course layout was very weird we had to keep going back and forth to find holes. A very challenging course made for a hot day even worse. Had to keep cart on path unless doing a 90degree. The path was full of holes and water, a total mess. To make matters worse we were bitten by green flies which were in abundance. Saw players in tee shirts. One green was loaded with 8 deer, not complaining but was a little worried about possibility of deer ticks, they were nice to look at and of course not the fault of the course, just nature at it's best. I will not be back to this course, play at your own risk, might be a nice course if dry and grass cut who knows?

perfect as usual

Played here 3x in 2wks. This is a great course for all levels of play. Weather in south Jersey has been raining almost everyday. Overall not much laying water. Greens and fairways in great shape. Justin had everything ready when we arrived and greeted us with a smile and was helpful. Bert is back! Helpful and cheerful as usual. Had a great day with the girls and will be returning soon.

Cheap golf near the beach

Overall was a good round. Pro shop and starter both very nice and helpful. Greens are kept in great shape. Other parts of the course are in rough shape i.e. Tee boxes, fairways, traps. There was a lot of sod laid on some tee boxes and fairway areas which shows they are trying. Municipal course and it is what you would expect at the price. I would come back again if I was looking for a cheap round in the area.

Awful condition

The golf course is in awful condition always. Huge part of the fairways are missing and are just dirt. The greens have crab grass growing along the fringes, and the tee boxes are a mess. It's cheap and different but you get exactly what you pay for.

Cloudy day but ...

The weather the weekend before had been a nor'eastern.. The course was still in great shape. Course is big and challenging. Fairways were soggy in places but still in good shape this time of year in NJ. Fairways were narrow, water hazards on all holes on back 9. Being a group of ladies had no problems on course. Pace was great and staff were friendly. We always have a great time when we play here. Even on days that are busy and crowed never feel rushed and plenty of room for everyone. Going back next week!
